                         Tuesday, June 18, 2013

       The House in Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
     the Union had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1947) to 
     provide for the reform and continuation of agricultural and 
     other programs of the Department of Agriculture through 
     fiscal year 2018, and for other purposes:

  Mr. PETERSON. Madam Chair, I join you in pledging to work with the 
former Member of our Committee from Georgia. As he indicated, we were 
pleased to work with him and other Members during the 2008 Farm Bill to 
open up both the McIntire-Stennis program and Section 3(d) for full 
participation from the 1890 Institutions.
  I look forward to working with the 1890 colleges and universities and 
USDA on addressing the concerns that they have raised with the 
Committee.

                          ____________________
